Its hard to find neutral information amongst all the people crying "foul". No, it isn't. It's on videotape, from numerous different cameras. Watch it the video from CNN here and decide for yourself if this guy was crazy or if the police did things by the book.
Maybe. Rumours have been floating around on Groklaw for over a year about an IBM OOo-based office suite supporting ODF. Some have even suggested that a Notes client might end up being integrated into OOo, which would seem to be to IBM's benefit, since it would promote their Domino groupware server.
DHCP in an IPV6 world is a buggy whip. It's not necessary. An IPV6 device can discover its own IP address and gateway router and subnet mask (if necessary) without the help of any servers because it's built into the protocol stack.
DHCP doesn't give a network admin any more control over a network, either. That's just a silly statement. How does having a server doling out IP addresses make it any easier to control a network? It's not a like a device *must* be set to use DHCP. It's not difficult to figure out what IP address ranges a DHCP server is not doling out and use that, even on IPV4.
Heavens, a company discussing how to "deal with the hackers targeting their systems"? What a scandal. The scandal is in likely how they were dealing with the h4x0rz. This company has a tendency to interrput P2P systems by essentially breaking the law -- ping flooding networks and other DoS attacks, employing h4x0rz to bring down web sites, etc. All illegal tactics, no matter what activity they are trying to stop. Things that if you or I did them would likely get us thrown in prison.
They're trying to avoid get dismantled bit-by-bit by the Novell suit. The Chapter 11 reorg will protect them from getting decimated by Novell when they win their countersuit. So even if Novell wins, they don't get to take it out of SCO's hide until and unless the bankruptcy judge says os.
To defend their rights together and gain bargaining power? The RIAA is not a musician's union. They are an association of record labels. Hence the name Recording Industry Assocation of America.
You're probably thinking of ASCAP and BMI, which are copyright clearinghouses for songwriters and publishers. Even so, they aren't a musician's union, either.
They should talk to the GAIM^WPidgin developers. I've heard that they have a wee bit of experience in reverse-engineering hashes transmitted over a network.
Password the BIOS and put a lock on the case. Make the only boot device the hard drive. Disallow boot drive selection (if necessary). Unless he breaks the lock or the case, no way he can get around that. It still doesn't solve the problem. CyberSitter, et al., can still be bypassed without booting the computer into another OS.
Just because Google needs hardware to run its operations, and thus, hardware testing engineers to test new hardware and infrastructures, doesn't mean that they 'do hardware.'
I doubt any of us could tell the difference. Storm in a tea cup. I probably could. But then again, I do a lot of realtime audio recording and editing and therefore I make use of Ingo Molnar's REALTIME and PREEMPT kernel scheduler patches.
The standard scheduler, without those patches, is just about completely useless for realtime audio recording and editing, even with nothing more than the necessary apps, JACK, X, a lightweight window manager (openbox), HAL, syslogd, anacron, and 6 gettys running. Even taken anacron out of the situation didn't help.
Aaaaand he also said publicly many times that Apple wasn't making a phone. I don't trust anything he denies in public. That's right. While he denied Apple was making a phone, he said that Apple wouldn't make a phone because he didn't think they would do well in cell phone market -- something that seems to be proving itself out since Apple slashed iPhone prices and introduced the iTouch because iPod users said they wanted an iPhone for the media player. Something changed his mind about that, and maybe his original thoughts were correct, maybe not, only time will tell.
However, his reasons for not doing a PDA were well-justified. He just thinks that cell phones will be the devices to carry this information in the future, not PDAs. And if you look at the PDA market, this seems to be true because, by far, the largest segment of that market are -- wait for it -- smart cell phones.
IOW, Jobs was right in 2003 and if he still thinks the same way, he's right now.
Just as the iPhone's "exclusive" with AT&T was only a speed bump to those who wanted to use it on any network No, it wasn't. The iPhone can be hacked to work without AT&T service, but it can't be hacked to work on a different network.
Quit waiting for Apple to re-enter the PDA market, because I doubt it will happen. Jobs thinks PDAs are destined to become obsolete:
There are no plans to make a tablet. It turns out people want keyboards. When Apple first started out, "People couldn't type. We realized: Death would eventually take care of this." "We look at the tablet and we think it's going to fail." Tablets appeal to rich guys with plenty of other PCs and devices already. "And people accuse us of niche markets." I get a lot of pressure to do a PDA. What people really seem to want to do with these is get the data out . We believe cell phones are going to carry this information. We didn't think we'd do well in the cell phone business. What we've done instead is we've written what we think is some of the best software in the world to start syncing information between devices. We believe that mode is what cell phones need to get to. We chose to do the iPod instead of a PDA. -- Steve Jobs from a 2003 Mac Observer interview
So I doubt Apple will ever make another PDA; instead, they'll focus on the iPhone. Look for more iPhone models in the future.
In other words, having a world government would severely hinder the "haves" in keeping themselves separate from the "nots". Not if that world government was designed, created and run by the "haves."
Not surprising. The Japanese love acronyms. Particularly ones that are pronounceable in English. And most well-educated Japanese technical and business folks are pretty well versed in lore and myth outside of their own culture. They are a very worldly people.
Which is exactly why any electronic vote needs a paper trail. If there's any suspected election tampering, the paper votes can always be counted by hand.
Paper voting is by and large the most secure form of voting in existence. But if we must have electronic results, then we must have a paper trail.
No matter what level of security you apply to the system, it can and will be defeated. As long as everyone checks their paper ballot before turning it in, it doesn't matter how it gets printed, just that it does.
Yeah...all the candidates keep mentioning all these difficult-to-meet and ridiculous requirements that must be met to employed there...like air, water, food, protection from the Sun's radiation... The interview usually ends right there.
It doesn't necessarily mean the end of public key cryptography, it just means we'll have to come up with something other than prime factoring to compute the keys.
What this does mean is that there's going to be a lot of money to be made replacing public-key cryptograhy in custom code ala Y2K.
I think Theo has wayyyy overreacted. The only thing anybody did was strip a BSD copyright notice from a wireless driver that was partially dual-licensed and submit it to LKML as a patch. Whether this is immoral or not is not in question, at least in my mind. Whether this is illegal or not is for the lawyers to duke it out, if that's ever going to happen. What is known is that since the patch has not as of yet been included in an official Linux kernel, the 'Linux developers' didn't violate the law. If anyone did, it was only the patch submitter.

On Debian-based systems (including Ubuntu), just do:
/usr/bin/wine --extension exe
sudo apt-get install binfmt-support
sudo update-binfmts --install wine
binfmt-support should already be installed on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn by default, but I'm not 100% sure.
Agreed. The only thing I'd add is to say this:
